It was okay. I got a bit bored and found there was a lot of description which wasn't necessary or helping the story along so wanted to skim read through it a bit. Towards the end I just wanted to get it finished. Found it hard to connect with the characters as there wasn't much written to grip the reader and pull them into their relationship. Overall the story was just a bit sad as well, in a kind of disappointing way where I didn't really find it entertaining

Very good ending and beginning, but personally I found the middle a bit long and drawn out since the storyline at that point was a bit predictable. I found this book at a train station as part of its marketing campaign, such a good idea!! Overall, worth a read.

How do I convince more people to read this book? How ?!
WHY IS THIS BOOK SO UNDERRATED? Why ?!

I have made the grave error of reading parts of this book again. I mean, I still love it with all my heart, that's now shattered into a million pieces, but the timing was probably wrong... seeing as my dwindling mental health is bringing me precariously close to leaving everything behind, go in the mountains and live as a recluse.

Beautiful, heartwarming, funny, and full of romance without the cheese. This had me hooked, right from the start. I loved how Joel and Callie’s relationship blooms following those awkward first encounters. I love how Miller is able to write such damaged characters without them coming across as unlikeable. Joel and Callie bring out the best in each other, even when they’re apart and it’s just beautiful. I won’t spoil it for you, but the ending really hit me hard; so emotional - you’ll definitely need tissues. One of my favourite reads of this year and a fabulous debut. I’ll be looking forward to more books by Miller. No pressure!
